Hello there, I offer face to face counselling mid week and early evenings from The Crescent, Plymouth. I can also offer fortnightly sessions. As an experienced, qualified counsellor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional I can help you work through many issues. I will be right by your side as we explore what is troubling you. I can work with issues and the effects of negative childhood and adult experiences, such as relationship issues, low self-worth and assertiveness. I offer kindness, understanding and creative sessions to help gain insight and find the real YOU, process past experiences, identify patterns, triggers, act
I am an experienced counsellor and I want to learn about what is troubling you. Drawing on theories, practices I will help you gently explore and understand your inner thoughts and feelings. This can also include looking at a change of mindset. I believe in helping clients gain news skills and confidence to help themselves.
I recognise that this is a big investment, time and money and I will work hard for you. I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation so you can make sure that I am the right person for you. I can offer a blend of in person and online. Please get in touch, Donna

I have worked with many clients who want support for anxiety, negative self-belief, confidence, assertiveness and relationship issues. These issues then affect our day to day life. My experience in short term counselling (6-11 weeks) has helped many clients 'understand' how these issues affect us. They also leave with the new tools and so feel more confident about the future.

Exploring inner core beliefs that a person may have held (been given) since being a child is an area that I find reveals how a person feels about themselves 'today'. How it affects their thinking and patterns. So, it is the key that opens the first door, of many new doors not yet opened!
